2002 Acura: passenger side..seats..the dome light doesnt work..mirror

Resolved Question:

I have a 2002 Acura TL. I let my son's friend fix a dent in the driver's side door. Ever since, the passenger side windows don't work from the driver's control panel, the memory seats don't work, the dome light doesn't work when the door is opened, the mirror control doesn't work. Theradio and windows used to work after the car was shut off but don't anymore. The locks don't work. A local mechanic said it has something todo with the multiplex control unit and wouldn't touch it. Does it need reset? Replaced?

Ok, the door panel needs to come back off and peel back the wiring harness tape to expose the wiring to physically check the black wire and the white wire with red striping for breaks, cuts or chafing and repair as needed.

If none of the wires have a problem, then it is very likely that he shorted the multiplex control unit out and will need to be replaced. to verify, a scan tool has to be used to test the multiplex unit by commanding on the various functions. This will have to be done by a dealership.

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

I took the Power Steering O-Ring service bulletin linked from JustAnswer to my Acura dealer, and not only did they no-charge the o-ring, they also replaced the power steering pump at no cost. Gary RStevenson Ranch, CA

HONDA PLATINUM was great. I really appreciate his help. I was ready to trade my new Honda until he told me to wait until I got 3,000 miles on it and my gas mileage would get much better.SummerUSA
